Total Inaction is a response to the unending cycle of gun violence and media coverage in the United States of America. It is a multimovement work that seeks to engage and challenge the listener in order to inspire action and emotion regarding the problem of gun violence. The texts used are from Twitter posts, public statements, and the March For Our Lives website, and are authored by gun rights advocates, public officials, national politicians, and gun control advocates.
